During their visit, CRSE's Director, Prof. NG Tze Ming Peter, explained to them the latest development of the Centre, including the emphasis on Life and Spirituality Education, believing that it is the key to quality education and to "Education Plus" proposed by our President. Prof. NG emphasized that "A teacher must be adequately knowledgeable about religion and spirituality, otherwise, he or she cannot understand his/her students, or even the professional identity of a teacher." The respectful religious and educational leaders echoed their continuous support to this educational mission of CRSE and hoped that through the work of the Centre, Hong Kong education would be broadened and generate brighter hope to our coming generations.
